Yours are operating on a similar or close to the same frequency as your radio. May have to invest in some different ballasts. This is a common problem with different ballasts

Also try adding another good ground to your radio circuit. I've fixed a lot of backfeeding and freq. issues with a better ground. It's worth a shot!

...you might want to look into going to radio shack and asking them about those little noise canceller clip things, i forget the name off the top of my head, but they use them to cancel background electrical noise when running long stretches of wire close together..it comes through as a buzz or a hiss, similar to what your describing. they cost like 1.60-4.00 and they kill the bg noise completely
